Fatigue crack paths in single-crystal Ni-base superalloys do not follow the classical Stage
I/Stage II behavior. In fact, the opposite often occurs with cracks growing initially in Mode I …

The turbine section of aircraft engines (both commercial and military) is an example of one of
the most hostile environments as the components in this section typically operate at upwards …

In this survey, the origin of fatigue crack initiation and damage evolution in different metallic
materials is discussed with emphasis on the responsible microstructural mechanisms. After …

This work studied the relationship between the fatigue behavior and microstructural
evolution of a second-generation nickel-based single-crystal superalloy with [001],[102], and …

The influence of high thermal gradient processing on the creep and low cycle fatigue
properties of the AM1 Ni-based single crystal superalloy has been studied. Isothermal creep …

Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) is studied for a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy in this paper,
with a focus on the effect of crystal orientation and temperature. Specifically, cyclic …

Fatigue life variability of a newly developed third-generation Ni-based single crystal
superalloy resulting from different solution heat treatment procedures has been investigated …

The cyclic deformation and lifetime behaviors of a single crystal nickel-based superalloy
CMSX-4 have been investigated under out-of-phase thermomechanical fatigue (OP TMF) …

Transition from internal to surface crack initiation is controlled by oxidation assisted fatigue-
crack process in the very-high-cycle fatigue regime. Between 760 and 1000° C, single crack …

The deformation mechanisms of nickel-base single-crystal superalloys containing 3 wt.% Re
(3Re) and without Re (0Re) were systematically investigated in the temperature range from …
